UK weather: Met Office issues yellow warning

Many passengers have had their travel plans disrupted by the winter weather.

Over the weekend and today, heavy snowfall blanketed runways, train lines and highways, causing long delays for commuters and vacationers.

More than 100 flights due to serve UK airports have been canceled on Sunday and Monday so far, with Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Manchester and London City airports among the worst affected.

Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester all had to close a runway, leading to huge passenger backlogs.

Passengers have taken to social media to highlight the delays they are facing.

A disgruntled customer had their flight to Malaga canceled last night, with the only free replacements leaving on Wednesday or costing £750 one way.

"Just got back from Gatwick after being there at 4am...nightmare", they wrote at 9.30am this morning.

Another added: "He was supposed to leave Gatwick at 6pm last night. Airport closed. They moved us to Luton today, first flight canceled and no update on 11am.< /p>

"Mind what a little snow does. Next plan in case of cancellation is to rent a car."

Gatwick said on Twitter: "Snow and frost can cause disruption at the airport. Passengers are advised to check flight status with their airline - as well as local travel conditions - before departing for the airport."
